Business/Consumer Alert http://www.privateofficer.com
Huntsville AL Dec 26 2008
The Better Business Bureau of North Alabama is alerting local businesses and nonprofits to watch out for the latest “vanity award” scam: an e-mail message that informs the organization it’s been selected for an award.
The e-mail message, sent from U.S. Local Business Association, based in Washington, D.C., gives you the option of buying a plaque, according to Michele McDaniel, bureau president and CEO. “But until you fill out information (on your business profile), you can’t find out what your plaque will cost.”
McDaniel said the e-mails seem to be sent randomly, though “they’ve gone to the trouble of making sure the category (of the award) make sense.”
“We can’t find any criteria for the award,” she said.
The USLBA’s Web site states that selection as an award winner is determined “by the marketing success of your company in your local community and business category” and the USLBA “Best of Local Business” award program uses information gathered internally in conjunction with third-party data as a part of its selection process.
An Albertville business and a Huntsville nonprofit that had received the e-mails recently contacted the BBB to check on whether they were legitimate, McDaniel said. The BBB was forwarded two different notices; one states you must buy the plaque but doesn’t provide the cost. Once the firm links to the Web site, it can be routed to the information about costs.
A red flag, McDaniel said, is the only way to contact USLBA is through e-mail. No phone number is provided on the organization’s Web site. The Pennsylvania Avenue address of the USLBA is a known mail receiving/forwarding address, and the BBB is trying to determine if the entity has a presence locally.
The BBB of D.C. and Eastern Pennsylvania inquiry report on the company is unsatisfactory.
“We liken (this vanity offer) to the ‘Who’s Who’ Directories,” McDaniel said. The BBB cautions individuals and business about direct e-mail or mail solicitations that offer to include the recipient in an award process or directory and may request a membership fee, payment for a plaque or payment for an order of one or more copies of a directory. In most cases, no returned solicitation, nominee or entry is rejected.

Atlanta GA Dec 26 2008
LAWTON OK — Lawton’s Central Mall was evacuated and several stores were shut down after the discovery of some unattended bags.
Shoppers were ordered out of the central part of the mall Monday after mall security officers noticed a gray suitcase and a black bag near a bench. Police were called and cordoned off the area.
About two hours after the initial report a 26-year-old man told police the bags belonged to him and contained clothes. He told authorities he was traveling by bus to Colorado and didn’t want to carry the bags while shopping.
Mohegan, Conn.
Stephen A. Kelly, 23, of Niantic, was arrested by a Mohegan Sun state police detective after he was found urinating in an Earth Casino pit.
Security officers approached Kelly, who they say became combative, and attempted to eject him from the casino.
Kelly was charged with breach of peace and released on $500 cash bond. He is expected in Norwich Superior Court Jan. 8.

Ventura County CA
Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man and a woman wanted for the armed robbery of the Hampton Inn & Suites hotel, 50 W. Daily Drive, on Dec. 16 around 11:50 p.m.
Witnesses describe the man as Hispanic, between 35 to 40 years old, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing about 240 pounds. The woman, also Hispanic, is between 25 and 30 years old. She is described as heavyset and about 5 feet 7 inches tall. Both wore all black clothing and Santa hats during the late-night robbery.
According to police, the couple entered the hotel lobby around midnight, jumped the counter and threatened the night clerk with a large kitchen knife. The robbers told the night clerk to lie face down and then took about $600 in cash from the register.
Police said a security guard saw the two leave the hotel in a light-colored small sedan similar to a Honda Civic.
The two are also suspected of robbing the same hotel earlier this month.
Please call the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department’s Major Crime Unit at (805) 477-7000 with any information regarding this robbery.

NTL. ASSOC. PRIVATE OFFICERS
www.privateofficer.com Police are investiating the murder of a 23-year-old man who was killed on the dance floor of a packed club Thursday.
Marc Metelus of Winter Haven was shot about 12:20 a.m. inside Gonzo’s Nightclub, 1239 E. Memorial Blvd. He was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center where he died about 1:15 a.m.
Police spokesman Jack Gillen said that several people inside the club began fighting and shots rang out inside the crowed nightclub.
Club owner Carlos Guerrero said he was standing outside the back door, urging loiterers to leave the parking lot, when three shots rang out. Security officers were also stationed inside and outside of the club prior to the shooting.
About 200 people who had packed into the club for Ladies Night fled through the doors, abandoning their drinks and knocking over tables, he said.
Guerrero said Metelus remained on the floor, a bullet lodged in his head.
Several employees at the club told Guerrero that Metelus and the male shooter, who had come to the defense of the woman, were regulars at Gonzo’s.
Eight security employees regularly enforce security at the club, Guerrero said. “I don’t know how a gun got in. That is a good question.”
Police are asking anyone with information to call Heartland Crime Stoppers at 800-226-8477 .
Florida Corrections records show Marc Metelus was on probation for various drug and driving offenses. Jail records reveal a history of arrests on drug possession and sale charges dating back to 2005.
Gillen said that he could not say whether police had identified a suspect and refused to comment on a motive.

Bounty hunters arrested for robbery http://www.privateofficer.com
PICAYUNE, Miss.Dec 26 2008 The owner of a Picayune bonding company say $50 taken from Mark Harris by its employees was to pay for bounty hunter fees. Harris said it was armed robbery.
Pearl River County sheriff’s investigator Donnie Saucier said Harris filed an armed robbery complaint on Dec. 17 against A-1 Outlaw Bonding agency and two employees, Elisha Shere Bourgeois and Kenneth Dominick Maynard.
Saucier said the incident occurred in June. Saucier said Harris claims Bourgeois, Maynard and two other people chased him down, took him into custody at gunpoint and took money from him.
Carol Pearson, owner-operator of A-1 Outlaw Bonding, said Harris, of Carriere, was wanted on a bench warrant. Pearson said a receipt for the $50 was given to Harris’ mother at her request. Pearson said bounty fees are usually $250.
Saucier said the fact there was a receipt does not make the action legal.
“Any time money or goods are taken from a person by force and against their will, it’s robbery,” Saucier said. “If people want to leave receipts for their robberies, then that fine with us.”
Saucier said Bourgeois is a bonding agent with A-1 Outlaw Bonding while Maynard is paid by the company for assisting in locating subjects.
Saucier said the other people involved in the alleged incident are being investigated.
No court date has been set in the case.

Judge sues Hilton Head security force http://www.privateofficer.com
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC Dec 26 2008
beaufortgazette.com — The Sea Pines property owners association in charge of the plantation’s private security team forcefully responded to Hilton Head Island municipal court Judge Maureen Coffey’s lawsuit this week, painting her as unable to be impartial after her brother was suspected in two rashes of home break-ins.
Coffey filed the suit against Community Services Associates and Sea Pines security chief George Breed on Nov. 20, alleging Breed began a pattern of harassing conduct designed to jail her adopted brother Otis Coffey and have her removed as town judge.
CSA lodged a formal complaint against Judge Coffey in June. It was investigated by the S.C. Supreme Court’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which dismissed it.
In its response, CSA argued Coffey’s lawsuit is without merit because a section of Rule 501 of the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules prohibits judges from filing civil lawsuits against people for lodging complaints against them.
In August, the town began using Beaufort municipal court Judge Ned Tupper to hear cases involving Sea Pines until the legal dispute between Coffey and CSA is settled.

NTL. ASSOC. PRIVATE OFFICERS
www.privateofficer.com– Authorities have arrested several men they say tried to rob a store and slugged a security officer on the head with a hammer. Police said that the masked thief attacked a security officer with a hammer Wednesday as he and two accomplices attempted to rob an Oak Park variety store, authorities reported.
Investigators said that the three bandits entered Fam Mart in the 1700 block of Euclid Avenue with bandanas over their faces shortly before 12:30 p.m., and that a security officer confronted them.
At that time, police said that as he tried to prevent them from getting into the business, one of the trio bashed him in the head with a hammer, SDPD Sgt. Diane Wendell said.
The assailant then ran over to a jewelry case and tried to smash the glass countertop, Wendell said. When he was unable to do so, he and his cohorts ran outside and fled in a white Honda.
A short time later, a caller reported seeing three men fleeing into a canyon in the nearby Rolando district. Officers set up a perimeter in the area and began searching, eventually finding and arresting the suspected would-be robbers, according to Wendell. The extent of the security guard’s injuries was not immediately clear.

Virginia security officer brings holiday cheer http://www.privateofficer.com
Frederick VA. Dec 26 2008
fredericknewspost.com
He decked the halls, now he’s filling them with music.
Morris Blake, a security guard at Frederick County government’s Winchester Hall, has made the holidays a little bit cheerier for government employees.
On Monday, he sat in the foyer of Winchester Hall with his music instructor, playing Christmas carols and holiday songs on a mellophone, a brass instrument similar to a French horn.
He decided to play at noon, so employees would be able to enjoy the music during their lunch break or as they left and entered the building.
“I thought it would be nice for them to have something different for once, and unbeknownst it will be the first time for them here,” Blake said.
Blake has been a security guard for the county for five years. He has also worked security at Mount St. Mary’s University and Francis Scott Key Mall.
In Winchester Hall, he greets visitors with a smile and started an annual tradition of decorating the foyer with a sparkling Christmas tree and poinsettias.
This year, he added the entertainment, and also played for employees at City Hall. He was joined by his teacher, a local instructor who offers private lessons, Dennis Fraley, on the French horn.
The mayor missed the performance, so Blake and Fraley played him a few songs.
They’ve already been asked back.
“Everybody was very happy, very nice about it,” Blake said.
Blake just started learning the mellophone in October, and Fraley helped keep the songs going strong.
“You have to hang in there with me,” Blake said before he started playing.
A couple dozen employees came by to listen, clapping at the end of every song.
Though he just started learning the mellophone, Blake has been playing the trumpet for two years, which is very similar in terms of how it is played and keyed.
Blake also recently started a handbell group at Fort Detrick, and has played the organ at local churches for many years.
